I don't see any problem with calling the public API internally.

OK, the list would only conditionally contain AV_PIX_FMT_DRM_PRIME then?

As the change currently stands, I think this is equivalent to 
`s->output_drm = 1;`.

rkmppdec.c always creates its own hardware device context.

So are you saying this should require the user to create the hardware 
context before calling avcodec_open2()?  And the change would then be 
something like this:
```
s->output_drm = 0;
#if CONFIG_LIBDRM
if (avctx->hw_device_ctx != NULL && 
((AVHWDeviceContext*)avctx->hw_device_ctx->data)->type == 
AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_DRM)
     s->output_drm = 1;
#endif
```

What about AVCodecContext::hw_frames_ctx?
